Dementia can be a challenging condition that can significantly impact the lives of both the person with dementia and their family members. However, there are steps that family members can take to preserve their relationships with their loved ones during the onset of dementia. These steps include educating themselves about the condition, seeking support from healthcare professionals and support groups, adapting communication strategies to suit the person with dementia's needs, engaging in activities that promote positive interactions, and seeking professional help when needed. By implementing these strategies, family members can help maintain strong and positive relationships with their loved ones with dementia.
